Thank You

[Verse 1]
If there is ever unconditional love, that's what you gave me
The same breath and the same blood, you raised me
It's only now I'm missin' them same shoes that gave me blisters
And the family bond in all my baby pictures
From Goldfinch to Walpole to Bastion
In and out of cribs, chasin' where the cash is
Forever breakin' up fights when me and Del was beefin'
But then we go again when dad or yourself was sleepin'
Even when me and Marce bunked school
You told me in the long run, there'll only be one fool
I'm sorry for the time I took a score from your purse, felt like a scumbag
I just wanted the things that all my duns had
Then later on, you lent me your car, I even crashed that
I hit the streets hard, then gave you all the cash back
We done it like a fam are supposed to
And you're the type of lady not a soul can come close to

[Chorus]
You were like the sun, all the rays and the beams
You raised me as your son, but we came as a team
Still the best of friends and the space in between
You were like a god with the face of a queen
How can I thank you?
Look at all the things that you've done for me
Tell me, how can I thank you
Look at all the things that you've done for me

[Verse 2]
You're a woman, a soldier, I admire you
My best friend, I'll always tell the truth, I'll never lie to you
If you ask and I haven't got it, I'm tryin' to get it
Between me and you, I cry when you're cryin' too
I'll never lie, it's been tough but it's been good, right?
Remember when I was cuffed, you said your goodbyes
Thinkin' I was jail bound but luckily walked free
Look at me now, I never lost the good that you taught me
Embraced all my boys when you saw I had a good team
Or when I couldn't hide the money and you found out I was trappin'
Even later rappin', livin' out my hood dream
You never judged me, you only loved me
Things that never made sense when I was a young kid
And now black and white, I understand what you done did
I'm amazed at how you walked through hell, it's been rough
And truthfully, sometimes I feel like I don't tell you enough

[Chorus]
You were like the sun, all the rays and the beams
You raised me as your son, but we came as a team
Still the best of friends and the space in between
You were like a god with the face of a queen
How can I thank you?
Look at all the things that you've done for me
Tell me, how can I thank you
Look at all the things that you've done for me
You were like the sun, all the rays and the beams
You raised me as your son, but we came as a team
Still the best of friends and the space in between
You were like a god with the face of a queen
How can I thank you?
Look at all the things that you've done for me
Tell me, how can I thank you
Look at all the things that you've done for me
